Nope - if you're on HFC you need a new NBN cable/DOCSIS modem to go above 1000

Prices already been jacked for the few items in my watchlist this code applies to.

The XM3's are actually the best of the series for noise reduction according to rtings scientific tests. Their mic is also rubbish, though.

I've had it before a few times, it comes and goes, also happens in the web browser. Maybe it's just the quality of AI coding ;-)

Yes, VC's want to see users. It's a fight for users now, figure out how to make money out of them later. Perplexity gave free Pro access to…

Yeah Pi corporation went public and got too greedy with their pricing. They seem oblivious to the fact that N100 boxes cost less while…

Also watch the GST rate at Checkout - Ali sometimes charges 17.5% to Aussies.

Yeah, they just jacked up the price.

Yeah, it depends. The Dell wins on slightly more RAM expandability and is slightly faster. It loses on power consumption and modern ports.…

Yeah, you'd be better off getting a new N150 mini-PC for the same price. These are overpriced for what they are IMHO.

Depends what you want it for, and how much you want to pay. You'll be able to assemble a fast system on the cheap with this, cheap mb,…

Perhaps - I'd check some benchmarks, they might have put the 2.5GBps NICS on 1xPCIe 3 which means you won't be able to run them at full…

That dual Lan version sometimes sells for $149 on Amazon, which is how I got mine. N150, but only 12GB of RAM, though.

RS-232 dates from the 1960's. RS-232C is 1969.

The firmware can lie. They've found ways of modding the FARM as well as the old SMART trick to make old drives appear new, and wipe errors.

It is a high price. I have one of these for work, the CPU performance is not great, and neither is the battery life. I'd say it's the worst…

They're likely not gamers, probably being used to run AI LLMs

Yep, it's the VRAM. Even 3090's sell for $3500 now!

Yeah, GrayJay is a great app. Google suppresses it in search results, but it rocks.

Yes, these mini-PC's beat Pi 4 and 5's for almost every purpose. They are better and cheaper. The only thing a Pi has that these don't is…

Yep, these will kill Raspberry Pi's.

How much do you value your time? Unraid just works out the box, and expands when you add more disks, but you have to pay for it. If you…

I found this most interesting: NASA Saturn V 1967-1973 (Apollo 4 to Apollo 17 & Skylab) (Owners' Workshop Manual) by David Woods

Yes, they often charge 17.5% GST to Australians.

Sadly Lenovo seems to cheap out on their screens for all but their top-end. At least they've stopped selling 768p TN screens.

And Pixels are easy to root as well.

It is a great deal - that's a lot of decent hardware for A$125. Good writeup, too, OP.

Just out of interest, what are you running in your Proxmox box?

Or the Thinkstation 330p 9400 models for $201 6 months ago. Superior in some ways. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/894800

Yeah Pi got greedy when they listed on the stock exchange. Pi is no longer competitive, unless you like the ease of the prebuilt images or…
